Al-Guardian Brings Out Moonbats and Loonies

The Guardian has a sensible editorial to the effect that the current onslaught against the West predates any instigation by some sort of mythological War Against Islam. Read it at the link above, and then check out the Moonbats on the comment section.

One interested me very much as I was Political/Military Officer in the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia for three years in the mid-70s. Here is an effusive comment from a moniker called DEEPSOUTH:

Frothwrath and Tomohawk1 are both wrong re. when American soldiers were first in Saudi Arabia.

Mohammed, a Saudi student friend of mine in the early 1970s, told of chilling stories of arrest, torture and murder in his home land. At that time Saudi soldiers were being taught by Green Berets, who incidentally were allowed to bring in hash oil, appropriately in oil drums and alcahol[sic]. At that time he said that one of, if not the biggest percentage of their (Saudi) budget was devoted to suppression within their own borders by their secret police.

Operatives from the now infamous School of American Studies, Fort Benning Georgia, were showing the Saudis how to torture with great effect.

This is hilariously and stupidly beyond any stretch of anyone's imagination, except of a perverted mentality prone to being "stuck on stupid."

The USMTM in Dhahran at the time were completely Air Force advisors. There were no Army advisors except for the Saudi National Guard, and these were basically technical types who did not teach tactics and operational expertise. No, repeat, no Green Berets were assigned to the Kingdom while I was Pol/Mil Officer, and I would have known either officially or through the grapevine, had there been Special Forces in-country.

Of course, the comment above is what simple-minded lefties would like to believe. The misspellings and grammar give away the low status of the sender's brain. The final para is a classic:

The bombing and destruction of the ancient irrigation system in the Yemen when these people tried to overthrow their viscious ruler - strange how the White Christians of the West have amnesia - when convenient - sow the whirlwind and reap the whirlwind.

The irrigation systems in Yemen, with their dam at Marib which I visited in the late '70s, were destroyed before Mohammed [the Prophet, not the Saudi student] wrote the Quran, and is mentioned within that Holy Book.

Any other destruction would have been by Nasser's bombers in his attempt in the fifties and early '60s to overthrow Yemen, an attempt covertly thwarted by Prez Kennedy's assistance. The Yemenis actually like us cuz we helped throw the Egyptians out of their homeland in the '60s. Not that this simpleton knows about that.

DEEPSOUTH should go back to school or at least get his GED. [High School Equivalency]
